Fall is here!

Happy October everyone! Well, fall is here with the crisp cool weather and the changing of the leaves. It's my favorite time of the year. But oh wait, that's right, for the 2nd year in a row I am in the land of perpetual summer.

Not that I'm complaining, I love it being warm all year round and not worrying whether I should get up early in case there was a snow storm that I have to shovel my way out of. Or, in the case of my senior year in college, get towed back into because I was stuck in the middle of street. Thanks T and D for all your love and support and help on that one ;).

Like I said, I am not complaining, however there is a part of me that really misses sweater weather. Not cold weather, but the weather where it's perfect to go outside in a sweater and jeans and be perfectly comfortable. The weather that makes your cheeks just the slightest bit pink when the wind blows. Enjoy it while you can mainlanders... I know as well as you do that it usually only lasts about 3-4 weeks until it's gone.

Speaking of missing things from home, I called me parents today and little Sammy got on the phone to say hi. She has the most adorable 2-yr-old voice in the world and I absolutely melted when I heard it. I miss my nieces and nephew so much. I got used to seeing them my 2 months at home this summer, so now not seeing them until December is hard!!

Can you believe that Christmas is only like 83 days away though? That's crazy!! I can't wait to go home to see everyone at the holidays. And lucky us, we bought our plane tickets a week before the bailout plan was denied which sent prices skyrocketing!! I am proud to say BF found the tix for $500 cheaper than we paid last year, oh yes I am pumped. We're going to celebrate by blowing it all on a trip to Maui next month hehe. Woo! Anyway, hope you all have a good weekend! I can't wait till it starts :)
